® Wide RS 1200 series

ing block allows the user to take full advantage of the 25mm vertical shift when 

mounted on a larger tripod. However, to minimise the size of your camera, 

the mounting block can be removed by loosening the two tripod mount screw 

knobs.  With  the  mounting  block  removed  you  can  use  the  integrated  3/8” 

mount in the bottom frame of the main housing.

G2. WRS-333 LEVEL HEAD

The optional WRS-333 level head replaces the original mount. The WRS-333 

can be fine-levelled with 3 individual thumb screws, 2 for the horizon and 1 

for the perpendicular setting. The camera body can be rotated 360 degrees, 

with at the 0 and 180 degrees position there is a indication click. Any position 

can be locked with the 

rotation lock

. The WRS-333 features a 

spigot mount

 to 

facilitate any spigot accessory of your choice such as lens shades, flags or sun 

shades.

I. LED LIGHT MODULE

The Wide RS system includes a removable LED light which is convenient for use 

in darker environments when reading the distance scale, aperture and shutter 

speed. The LED unit attaches to the magnet positioned under the accessory 

mount of the camera body. 

The LED module can be set to different lighting modes. Standard the LED mod

-

ule is in “demonstration mode”, which means it will turn off automatically after 

four seconds. To change the LED module to “constant light mode” press and 

hold the button until the light turns off (at least 20 seconds).

Press the button to turn the light ON or OFF. Press and hold to change the 

brightness of the LED. The LED unit uses CR-2016 lithium batteries, to replace 

the batteries, the housing can be opened at the base by the key ring (note 

small notch in key ring hole).
